OpenSolaris and OpenSPARC from Brazil!

Monday Mar 30, 2009

Last week the Sestinfo 2009 event happened. It
is a set of presentations and mini-courses during the week at
Metodista University, SP.

I had the opportunity to talk about OpenSolaris in
a presentation on Thursday, and it was a four-hour course on Friday. Both
were great. Thank you all for coming and congratulations for those who
got a certification voucher!

On the last Friday of Campus-Party 2009, Pedro Reis and me (Marcelo Arbore) have performed a presentation together.He
talked about Zones, which is an O.S. abstraction for instantiating
systems, allowing multiple applications to run isolated one from each
other in the same system.

I showed some concepts and a
brief demonstration on DTrace, which is a dynamic tracing framework for
OpenSolaris that provides an infrastructure to allow administrators and
developers to concisely answer arbitrary questions about the behavior
of the operating systems and user programs (from the kernel to high
level). The questions are written in a script C-like language called D.

Vitório Sassi, Thiago Gonzaga, Ronaldo Prass and some other guys from SAMPAosug, POAosug and NORosug also showed the guys how to install the operational system, and how to use it with VirtualBox, a virtulization solution from Sun.
